Hi Barry
Thank you for the information, in your last 2 replies, I did have some of this already, but have a problem because there seems to be different dates for his birth, it doesnt help that this part of the family have switched thier names around,
the original name was Blenkinsopp Leaton, when Anthony Leaton Married Elizabeth Blenkinsopp in 1776 @ Whickham Church. Making Blenkinsopp Leaton.
They then had a son George Thomas. who decided to become Blenkinsopp Leaton Blenkinsopp, His records are a nightmare to follow especially his military & Marriage records, as his name differs in various records which I have now completed.
Richard is his son. I have a baptism registered at Whickham Church for 11.05.1808 with his birth as 04.03.1808 @ Whickham House being the son of George Thomas Leaton & Harriott Collingwood.
However another record given to me shows him being born 15.01.1809 (ep/Whm5) at Whickham House. I have no way of verifying these 2 different dates.
The Blenkinsopp scandal , I have various versions of this, including the london court record findings, all of which mount up to the same thing, showing our George Thomas to be a nasty piece of work.
Thank you for your help
Regards Jenny
